Newsom Dumps ANOTHER $419M on Homeless Hoax—LA/SF/SD Get $419M Despite Epic Fails!
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Gavin Newsom is celebrating a 9% drop in unsheltered homelessness while simultaneously rolling out another $419 million in state grants. If billions upon billions of California taxpayer dollars were actually working, wouldn't we see more than a 9% reduction? We dive into the elaborate homeless encampments under LA's freeways—complete with TVs, furniture, and fire hazards that could recreate the massive 2023 freeway inferno. Meanwhile, San Francisco's mayor admits the city spends a cool billion dollars on homelessness annually. That's billion with a B.Watch as we break down the whack-a-mole reality of encampment sweeps, the "housing first" policy that keeps attracting more people, and why some cities like San Francisco are finally getting tough while Seattle reimagines doing absolutely nothing. California can't account for $22 billion in recently spent funds, yet here we go again with hundreds of millions more. At what point do we admit this isn't working?
